Who is your role model?

Lately I have been going through a bit of a career crisis, actually crisis is much to strong a word, but I have been struggling to find my professional path. I think a part of my struggle with my career rests in the fact that I have not had a role model in this area . Having someone to look to makes things so much easier.

When I read personal stories here on PulseWire - stories of women starting businesses or non-profits, women speaking out on issues, women making films or writing about their experience - I often wonder how the women learned to do such amazing work.

We are a very strong community and that strength and courage comes from somewhere. Someone somewhere along our path has helped us, inspired us or allowed us to see our own strength.

Who has been your role model? Has someone mentored you? Is there someone who inspires you?
